CEA Expand Fleet with New Volvo FH 440 Prime Movers

The Prime Movers (photographed in the gallery below) were purchased from Volvo Thailand to service a new three-year contract with a major chemical company for the cross-border transportation of Dangerous Goods from Thailand to Laos. Each truck has been fitted with an extra-large fuel tank to increase their service range and will operate daily out of CEA's headquarters in Laem Chabang, Thailand.

The Volvo FH series have a new economical driveline resulting in up to an 11% saving on fuel and are installed with the ground-breaking I-Shift Dual Clutch system. Last year, CEA also purchased six Volvo FH 520’s and two UD 420 Quester Prime Movers and these units are now in operation throughout the ASEAN region.

Marketing & Communications Manager at CEA, Earl Brown: "As the ASEAN community develops across the region, the need for cross-border transportation increases. CEA recognises the need to stay one step ahead of our competitors by offering the best possible service to our clients. These latest acquisitions will only enhance our appeal in terms of cost, efficiency, and technology."
